So I have been a smokeless owner for about 2 weeks. I got a Jeff Hankins CVA hunter conversion. Threw a vortex diamondback on it and headed to the range. Loaded with 58 gr of 4198 and a Parker BE 275gr. Two shots to get close at 100, and fired a .7” 3 shot group. 6 days later I got out for Virginia early muzzleloader. This time of year I mostly spend my time hunting the National Forest mountains. Climbed to the top early in the morning, but wasn’t seeing much deer sign. At 11:30 a beautiful coyote came through and I took him out. I decided to drop back down lower and hunt an area I was planning to save for another day. About 15 minutes before dark I hear a deer walking. Finally saw a tall rack top out on the ridge. He walked down to about 40 yards and never knew what hit him. He was dead before he hit the ground. I’m kind of liking this smokeless thing.
